There are five Game Stops near me and I called every one of them today at lunch and no one has it. I will try back this evening but they told me they will probably get it tomorrow. They all said since because it doesn't have a street date.

They told me it ships tomorrow and should be in on the 3rd...

I hope, REALLY hope your Game Stop knows something mine doesn't

Don't get your hopes up too much. I am pretty sure that Thursday is going to be the magic day. Ship date means just that... They put them in the mail on that date. I of course am going to check tomorrow just in case... But I am not getting my hopes up.

Like I said in previous posts... I used to work at Gamestop for a while and when an item says it is going to ship on a certain day... We would always get it the day after.

There were exceptions to that though. Let's hope our beloved BOP is one of those exceptions.

I guess they overnight them from wherever they are mailed from?

They told me big games like Guitar Hero or Call of duty will be in the store before their release date so they can sell them on the day of.

I ordered for home delivery with one-day overnight shipping and I don't expect it until the 3rd. But I like surprises.

Yeah, they have cut a deal with UPS... Nearly all their shipments are overnight.
